Orinoquia Toll, a beautiful design inspired by the waterfalls of Canaima Park (Eng - Esp)
Traveling and getting to know different places in the national territory or outside of it, is a nice experience that allows you to explore spaces that we do not yet know and if we know it, each visit is a new adventure that gives us the possibility of appreciating details that at the time we could not see, on my last trip to the state of Bolívar when passing through the tolls I realized that many times I have traveled through that area and I had not noticed the tolls, in my eagerness to get to my destination as quickly as possible I believed that there was only one toll, when passing this toll I was sure that very soon we would arrive at our destination, in the company of my son we made many plans after crossing the toll; eat, rest a little, shower and go to the destinations that we had previously established, we were anxious because the line of cars took a long time to move forward and to our surprise when passing the Orinoquia toll, which is very close to the bridge of the same name, we had several more kilometers to travel to reach our destination which was the city of Puerto Ordaz, perhaps because of the anxiety and rush we had to arrive I did not notice and completely forgot that there were two tolls.
After passing the first toll, the Guayana toll was waiting for us, which is located exactly at the entrance to the city of Puerto Ordaz, when we passed the toll and saw that we had a long road ahead, we decided to relax a bit while the car moved forward and observe the landscape, I must say that the landscape in this area is beautiful and combines jungle, forest and the presence of the Orinoco River, which in its course covers a large part of the territory of the state of Bolívar, previously I mentioned that there are two bridges and a third bridge is under construction, the Angostura and Orinoquia bridges, constitute two great works of engineering and architecture that adorn the majestic Orinoco, the first corresponds to the suspension bridges of the 1950s, according to information from the driver, during his childhood he passed by the bridge on repeated occasions in the company of his father, because he frequently visited this area for his work, he also commented that he knows the bridge very well and likes the spectacular view of the sunsets, the second bridge is a modern design, which stands out for its colorful lights which create a beautiful nighttime spectacle.
Viajar y conocer diferentes lugares del territorio nacional o fuera de él, es una linda experiencia que permite explorar espacios que aún no conocemos y si lo conocemos cada visita es una nueva aventura que nos da la posibilidad de apreciar detalles que en su momento no pudimos ver, en mi en mi último viaje al estado Bolívar al pasar por los peajes me di cuenta que muchas veces he transitado esa zona y no había observado los peajes, en mi afán por llegar lo más rápido posible a mi destino creía que sólo había un peaje, al pasar este peaje estaba segura que muy pronto llegaríamos a nuestro destino, en compañía de mi hijo hicimos muchos planes luego de cruzar el peaje; comer, descansar un poco, ducharnos y salir a los destinos que ya habíamos establecido previamente, estabámos ansiosos porque la fila de autos demoró en avanzar y para nuestra sorpresa al pasar el peaje Orinoquia, que queda muy cerca del puente homónimo, faltaban por recorrer varios kilómetros más para llegar a nuestro destino que era la ciudad de Puerto Ordaz, tal vez por la ansiedad y la premura que teníamos por llegar no noté y olvidé por completo que habían dos peajes.
Luego de pasar el primer peaje, nos esperaba el peaje Guayana, que queda exactamente en la entrada de la ciudad Puerto Ordaz, al pasar el peaje y ver que nos quedaba una larga carretera, decidimos relajarnos un poco mientras el carro avanzaba y observar el paisaje, debo decir que el paisaje en esta zona es hermoso y combina, selva, bosque y la presencia del Río Orinoco, quien en su curso cubre gran parte del teritorio del estado Bolívar, anteriormente he mencionado que en él se encuentran dos puentes y está en construcción un tercer puente, los puentes Angostura y Orinoquia, constituyen dos grandes obras de la ingeniería y arquitectura que engalanan al majestuoso Orinoco, el primero corresponde a los puentes colgantes de la dácada de 1950, según información del conductor, durante su infancia pasó en reitradas oportunidades por el puente en compañía de su padre, pues frecuentemente visitaba esta zona por su trabajo, comentó además que conoce muy bien el puente y le gusta la espectacular vista de los atardeceres, el segundo puente es un diseño moderno, que destaca por sus coloridas luces las cuales crean un lindo espectáculo nocturno.
The toll facilities have a beautiful design, which I liked a lot, it is a rectangular building with a square in the center that stands out, there is the main door and at the top the toll identification, the walls are painted light orange and on both sides of the main door there are several waterfalls made of stone that adorn the building, these waterfalls remind me of those in the Orinoquia shopping center, with the difference that those are horizontal and these vertical with a cylindrical shape, the detail of these waterfalls I loved because it gives a great style to the toll office and make reference to the numerous jumps in Canaima Park, the toll is made up of a metal roof where several beams are joined that form small diamonds and these in turn a network of cells that make up the roof, in the corners are the columns that serve as support and are also silver like the roof, around the land you can see some motorcycles and white lines on the floor where cars must travel, at the time we passed by this incredible place, the The sky was clear and cloudy, offering a beautiful welcome landscape to travelers.
Las instalaciones del peaje tienen un hermoso diseño, que me gustó mucho, es un edificio rectangular con un cuadrado en el centro que sobresale, allí se encuentra la puerta principal y en la parte superior la identificación del peaje, las paredes están pintadas de color naranja claro y a ambos lados de la puerta principal hay varias cascadas hechas con piedra que adornan el edificio, estas cascadas me recuerdan a las que están en el centro comercial Orinoquia, con la diferencia que aquellas son horizontales y estas verticales con forma cilíndrica, el detalle de estas cascadas me encantó, pues le da un gran estilo a la oficina del peaje y hacen referencia a los numerosos saltos del parque Canaima, el peaje está constituido por un techo metálico donde se unen varias vigas que forman pequeños diamantes y estos a su vez una red de celdas que integran el techo, en las esquinas se encuentran las columnas que sirven de soporte y son también de color plateado al igual que el techo, alrededor del terreno se observan algunas motos y las líneas blancas en el piso por donde deben transitar los autos, a la hora que pasamos por este increíble lugar, el cielo lucía despejado y con muchas nubes, ofreciendo un lindo paisaje de bienvenida a los viajeros.
This is the first time I have seen the toll offices in detail and they are very different from the traditional designs, which consist of rectangles and squares with small windows where the attendants give the ticket and receive payment from the drivers, this one has a nice and striking design with its beautiful stone waterfalls, also a beautiful environment where you can see a small mountain and large trees, the view is incredible and contrasts with the country design of the office, at the bottom of the waterfalls there is a small blue and white wall and towards the ends the wall is yellow and black, at one end there is a tent with several chairs and in the background you can see several houses, I really liked the design of these offices because of its unique style that stands out in the area.
Es la primera vez que observo en detalle las oficinas del peaje y son muy diferentes a los diseños tradicionales, que consisten en rectángulos y cuadrados con pequeñas ventanas donde las encargadas dan el ticket y reciben el pago de los conductores, esta tiene un lindo y llamativo diseño con sus hermosas cascadas de piedra, además un hermoso entorno donde se observa una pequeña montaña y grandes árboles, la vista es increíble y contrasta con el diseño campestre de la oficina, en la parte inferior de las cascadas hay un pequeño muro de color azul y blanco y hacia los extremos el muro es de color amarillo y negro, en uno de los extremos se encuentra una carpa con varias sillas y al fondo se aprecian varias viviendas, realmente me gustó mucho el diseño de estas oficinas por su estilo único que resalta en el área.
Blessings!

Hey @belkyscabrera you are welcome.
Thanks for using @worldmappin 😘
I really dream of visiting this part of Venezuela, and I hope to do so someday. This is an interesting post for this community, and it's nice to see that we both share a love of architecture, whether it be large buildings or small details. Thank you for sharing dear Belkys 🙏
Hello Jesús, I hope you have the opportunity to visit this beautiful state very soon. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. If you're a lover of adventure and nature, Canaima Park is perfect. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a modern city with incredible shopping malls and natural parks, Puerto Ordaz awaits you. In short, every area of Bolívar State has its own attractions.
Best regards!
